XRP futures launched on CME Group with $19 million in first-day volume, outperforming Solana’s debut and highlighting XRP’s institutional appeal. CME Group launched XRP futures with two contract sizes: a micro-sized contract of 2,500 XRP and a larger one of 50,000 XRP, both cash-settled using the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, calculated daily at 4:00 p.m. London time. The successful launch of XRP futures on CME Group has significant implications for a potential spot XRP ETF.
